1. Who is Gregory Know-Nothing, what is Sludge (do you mean Drudge?)

and what the hell are we talking about. :) Sometimes DU is a foreign language. Did MTP (I know that one) choose a new host?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. sorry. Drudge.com is reporting that Meet the Press is selecting

David Gregory to take the late Tim Russert's place

[jobycom]

8. Igg. Thanks for the clari.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Oh, and the other thing was the Drudge headline was

"Meet the DE-Pressed" Guess he doesn't like him either. Although EVERYONE here
hates Drudge - so don't ever quote him without used the pejorative "Sludge" :)

[jobycom]

12. That's a Rush Limbaugh-ism. Shows where Drudge gets his inspiration. nt

2. My email...ahem..

I have watched MTP religiously going back to David Brinkley and certainly the late, great Tim Russert. David Gregory as a replacement??? Are you kidding??? He isn't worthy to tie the shoelaces of his predecessors. He's shallow and lazy. He doesn't even know what he doesn't know. He thinks he knows stuff because he heard it at his drunken DC watering holes and cocktail parties. MTP is dead to me until you get a serious newsman (cough - David Shuster) in there.

5. excellent !! Rather see Tweety, myself

10. I wrote something similar...

David Gregory? That's who you pick to replace Russert? Seriously? Unbelieveable.

Gregory is my LEAST favorite talking head on MSNBC. When he comes on, my TV goes off. He's annoying, vacuous, and a total right-wing tool. The only person who should be happy with this decision (besides Gregory) is George Stephanopolis.

19. More than one champagne cork popped at the Stephanopolous house

last night when this news came out.

George is now officially the king of Sunday morning talk.

I always kind of felt when Russert was still around that George's show was kind of sad in a way. Not that he is the best by any means, but I especially feel that during the round table he does well.

[Lucky 13]

21. I honestly can say, I've not watched George's show more than once.

I only watch Sunday morning TV occasionally and when I did, I was a MTP girl. No longer. I seriously can't stand Gregory. He's a right-wing tool for sure, but there's also some intangible quality about him that I find absolutely horrifically annoying.

[Greyskye]

3. Oh so done.

:kick:

[jillan]

4. They heard from me.

Thanks for the link.

[vanderBeth]

7. They chose Gregory?!

Last time I watch that.

[annabanana]

14. "Dances With Rove" should sure serve up some hearty helpings of that

trendy bipartisan kumbaya, now, shouldn't he....

[FrenchieCat]

11. My email......

I read that David Gregory is taking over as host of MTP. I am quite disappointed with this selection as I consider him a lightweight who lacks charisma as well as any real depth and understanding of current events. I would have preferred the novel idea of returning to the original MTP format consisting of a panel of journalists, such as was the case years ago, and which is how the program got its name. In a time when "Change" is the obvious motto, NBC is showing a remarkable lack of innovative thinking amongs the suits. It would have been refreshing for NBC to come up with something classic and brilliant, but instead you have chosen something simple and dull; David Gregory.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. excellent. "lacks depth and understanding of current events" !

[marlakay]

13. Thanks I told them I already turn off msnbc when his show

now comes on, so they just made sure I never watch MTP again.

They are going to go down in flames now...stupid stupid.

[grantcart]

15. Well it will be nice to have our Sunday's free

sent a caustic email

[firedupdem]

17. Thanks for the link

My email was straight to the point. David is a right wing tool and simpleton. If he's the host of MTP, this household will not be watching...ever!

[ShortnFiery]

18. I couldn't believe it when I heard Gregory was selected for MTP. Lightweight? NOPE - Featherweight.

:thumbsdown:

[ErinBerin84]

20. Damn it, didn't save my email.

I basically said that he demonstates a shallow understanding of and zero passion for history, is not engaging, does not command respect in a believable way.

[Party Line]

22. I mentioned in my email

that Gregory has stated that the national press was not complicit in the run-up to the Iraq war. I have never respected him since he made that assertion.
